Someone was going to be doing these. Did they ever make and release them? I am looking for a few for my M1 Abrams.
Thanks
Mike

If you mean a water cooler, there's one included in Blast Models BL35154K set (not sure it's an Igloo BTW...) :

It wasn't Blast. Someone was building an M1 I believe and they had it on the tank and he said that he had built it by himself and was thinking of selling some of them.

Nick "Angrydog" was the one doing it and he is planning on doing some castings, correct me if I am wrong Nick, sometime in the (hopefully soon) future. I know that he has mentioned to me that he really wants to get some done but is very busy with projects right now. My suggestion is shoot him an email and maybe as more of us "pile on" the praise and requests he might be motivated to start a garage business. Cheers.

Thanks guys for referring my stuff. Yes I am finally going to put a small amor package out which includes the cooler...My efforts on production has been focused on my Enterprise aircraft carrier hanger kit...Yup I had to betray my loyalty to armor for a long while.. Thing is.. besides economics, when DML got their AIM out..I had to take a large step back to rethink and redesign the kits I was working on as well.

Damon, the Duffels are from legend's Stryker stowage set. http://www.luckymodel.com/scale.aspx?item_no=LF1153

Hi there,

I made some masters for Djiti`s Production of CAMBRO Coffee/Beverage dispensers and CAMBRO food containers. I think he will release it soon.
I currently work on open food containers, what kind of food do you like, Burgers, Hot Dogs, Potatoes? I wonder what kind of food and beverage containers are carried on modern US vehicles, might have some potential for
several AM sets.

Cheers
Hans-Hermann
